Zwift meetups and social rides ?

The pretzel will take quite a while won’t it? Up KOM twice including the radio tower on one of them? Any ideas how long?

Its around 72km in all, out and up the KOM and radio tower, then back over the hilly KOM, then the reverse route but not taking in the radio tower. It would be a couple of hours at least I reckon, nearer 2.5

We did 3 sisters in under 2 hours with stops on the KOM, so definitely over 2 hours for Pretzel, there is no volcano which will save time. I’m not saying we need to do it Saturday, just at some point I need to do it.

I was looking at the Pretzel and thinking it doesn’t seem too bad. I’d be up for it as a Sunday Hills ride but couldn’t do it this weekend.

Let’s postpone that one for a future Sunday Hills then. Just pick something Robbo…but not Ventoux!!!

Surrey hills? I haven’t done that

I have but am willing to go again, so yeah it works for me. It’s constant climbing though…I’ll try keep up.

I haven’t done London pretzel either so happy to do that one?

So London Pretzel it is on Saturday morning, 8am start. 56km, last time I did this it took around 1hr 50mins.

If anyone wants to be included, shout and we can get an invite out to you.

Will see you on the morning Craig though I’ve only got an hour so will have to ditch early as I need to be out the house at 10.

hey all…
just to say I’m down for an event ride tomorrow at 1240.. JETT Japanese group ride thing..70km… I’m in c cat for this event as just want to get legs turning for the race on Tues!

come along dudes and dudesses…

DrP

Good timing on the invite from tomorrow was just considering what to do tomorrow AM 7am works for me.

Innsbruck, that’s a brave choice after The Race(tm)

Ha…well we can take it as fast as we want. More of a leg spinner really.

Richmond is a daily world tomorrow and I dont think Yorkshire is a good idea after tonight…

If anyone else wants in to the commute, let me know and I’ll put out an invite.

i’ll have to pass, but thanks for invite..gotta be at work at 8am tomorrow, and going to do a bit of yoga and hand physio in the morning.

Yes. I’m aware that sounds dodge…

DrP

Lol 🙂

Yes. I’m aware that sounds dodge…

Not so much as the twitch stream invite I just got from you…

Even though I started late due to the tech challenges, it still kept the full 45 mins before I got the finish line notification.

Good ride enjoyed it this morning once I got going

Can’t say I enjoyed it haha

No, me neither, it was fair awful but needed ta

Cheers for sorting Craig. Got a PB up the little hill this morning. 419W average for 1min 10 secs!

That’s cos you had fresh legs innit Robbo?? 😉

Anyone doing a Zwift ride this weekend? Just wondering if anything interesting is going on before I commit myself to riding up a big hill in preparation for Tuesdays STW race.

Not bothered which day, maybe both depending on how I feel. I am eyeing up a Team Vegan ride around “Big Foothills” at 8-30am on Sunday if nothing else is on.

I am up for a ride – Can do Saturday or Sunday.

Not sure if I dare mention it – how about Quatch Quest? I figure we could do it in 2hours 30mins?

70 mins for the Alpe
25 mins for epic KOM

You trying to kill me for Tuesday??? Can have a go I suppose, worst that can happen is that I bail if it gets too much.

Might be better Saturday to give me time to recover 😉 but if others want to join and Sunday suits better, then I can do that too.

lol will you all sod off with the hills. I was hoping for something flatter

Happy to do something flatter if it suits more people. Saturday works well for me.

Any suggestions for a flatter route @weeksy?

Sat i’d have to be off the bike by 11am. Sun i’m free.

Maybe something like Out and Back.

I can’t do Saturday but should be able to do something on Sunday. Although, as much as I hate them something hilly gets me nearer the Tron than a flat ride.

OK how about Out and Back on Sunday morning then. Does 8.30am work as I know some like early and some prefer later so a bit of a compromise?

Sunday works for me, so I’m in! How about being really silly Robbo and doing Quatch Quest Saturday? I quite fancy it now you’ve put the idea in my head.

I have sent the Sunday meet up invite out. If anyone else wants an invite let me know. I have invited some of those I can remember possibly attending sunday hills before!

Oop North – I am happy to give it a go on Saturday but would prefer and earlier start if that works for you?

Yes earlier is good for me too. 7am or 7-30am?

Let me know and I’ll set it up.

7am?! Ill binge on pasta and muesli on Friday night!

Saturday morning is weigh in day as well – I will weight after the ride – will be a few pounds lighter!

Okay invite has gone out (I’ve not included you Weeksy or Mr Hoppy due to you not being available Saturday)

7am Quatch Quest. Anyone else wanting to join, let me know on here and I’ll put out further invites.

Must avoid too much alcohol this weekend!!

Hi, I seem to have fallen off the Zwift wagon recently, could I have an invite please?

N.ick (STW)

Cheers!

Not sure if that request was for Saturday or Sunday Nick, so I’ve sent you one out for the Saturday ride. If you need Sunday Robbo will sort that.

Okay invite has gone out (I’ve not included you Weeksy or Mr Hoppy due to you not being available Saturday)

No worries, I’m not troubling a 7am start for Quatch Quest even if I was available. 😂. It’s a good route though so enjoy.

Cheers, think I’ll do both 🙂

Just had an invite for a Sun 5pm Mountain8 ride from DrP, I think.
Not sure I can make that, but would probably be OK for a 7am ride on Sunday.

@oop north – can you send me an invite for the Quatch Quest thing. What am I letting myself in for?

I’m supposed to be doing a 40km bridleway bash with some mates on Sat, so will (probably) be pretty sluggish.

@stumpy01 The Quatch quest ride is Saturday at 7am, Sunday is the “Out and Back” ride which Robbo is sending invites out for.

You probably dodged a bullet there if you can’t make the Saturday!! 😉

@robbo1234biking Can you send an invite out to Stumpy and Nick for Sunday?
